The Week of No Running
I didn't run a step this week. My calf/achilles is a certain mess. I've apparently exercised poor judgement with reference to this issue. I thought it was fine after its initial rest period, so I continued on with normal running. For a few days, everything felt fine. But then, on a half marathon pace workout a week ago today, my calf/achilles started aching. There is no pain neccessarily, it's just a tweaky feeling, like something could go. And the feeling is that if it were to go, it would go good. So, I have no desire to run if it feels like this.
Bah humbug. I've had good running lately, too.
I've ridden my bike 4 days, hiked 1 day, and taken 2 days off. That's all for now, folks. I had a most inspiring evening, but I'll save it for another entry.

Hmmm...wise of you to be cautious, I think. But annoying for you when you had been getting in some good quality mileage. Don't worry too much about it though...a little rest is never a bad thing and you can play it by ear once you've give things a fair chance to start healing properly.
